Prior to the enactment of the War Powers Act of 1973 the President of the United States had nearly unlimited authority as Commander-in-Chief to wage war and police actions. The enactment of the act served to empower to Congress to ultimately have to be consulted to authorize funding and support of deployments and military action after a certain period. In this method the sovereignty of Congress is further affirmed through its ability to approve military action (even without a formal declaration) and its power to check and balance executive control of the armed forces.
